Beginning with the United States' 600 MHz incentive auction this week, we will be analysing the results and consequences of this years significant spectrum auctions. In the coming weeks we will be examining Ireland's 3.5 GHz auction as well as taking a more general look at auctions in the 700 MHz band.… Read more...
